I had a combo similar to yours a few years back. 13:1 406, an old Elgin cast crank, stock 5.7 rods, solid cam that had a little more lift but less duration than yours, World iron Sportsman II heads out of the box, Victor Jr and a 926 Carb Shop Holley. Pulled great to about 6500 and ran 11.20's @ 118 in my 3075lb 63 Nova up here in Colorado. with 4.56 gear and 28x9 slicks....actually ran 10.64 @ 122 when a buddy of mine took it to Phoenix
